Most fresh water is locked up in the form of ice caps and glaciers, primarily in Antarctica and Greenland. These ice formations hold a large portion of the Earth's fresh water, with Antarctica alone containing about 70% of the world's fresh water resources.
Most of the Earth's fresh water is locked up in glaciers and ice caps at the polar regions. This frozen water plays a crucial role in regulating global climate and sea levels.
Most of Earth's fresh water falls to the ground as rain.
The majority of Earth's fresh water is locked up in polar ice caps and glaciers. Only a small fraction of fresh water is found in lakes, rivers, and underground sources.
Only about 3% of Earth's water is fresh. Two percent of the Earth's water (about 66% of all fresh water) is in solid form, found in ice caps and glaciers. Because it is frozen and so far away, the fresh water in ice caps is not available for use by people or plants. That leaves about 1% of all the Earth's water in a form usable to humans and land animals. This fresh water is found in lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, and in the ground. (A small amount of water is found as vapor in the atmosphere.)
People cannot use most of the fresh water on earth because it is in the form of ice in glaciers and polar ice caps. This frozen fresh water is inaccessible for direct human use until it melts and flows into rivers and lakes.

Because we are still in an era of Glaciation meaning most of earth fresh water is in Ice form as Glaciers.

Roughly 97.5% of Earth's water is salt water, found in the oceans, while about 2.5% is fresh water. Most of the fresh water is locked up in ice caps and glaciers, with a small fraction available in rivers, lakes, and groundwater.
